After I figured out how to keep Melt Metal Gloss in the gorgeous rose gold shade, Séance (reviewed here), from straying from my lips with MAC Prep + Prime Lip Base (reviewed here), I decided to buy another Metal Gloss when Melt had a “reopening” sale recently. It was a good sale. The regular price …

Yesterday, I had to go to CVS to pick up a necessity. So I put on my mask and gloves and I went inside the store. I had to buy an OTC med that I was running out of, and I wanted to take advantage of some Extrabucks and a 35% discount that were expiring. …

Usually I go to the Sephora store to pick up my birthday gift, and that often coincides with the Spring VIB event. But this year, everything is online. I got an email a couple of weeks ago that my favorite Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb was back in stock. Yay! I knew that the VIB sale …
I’ve been on a very low buy since the the end of 2019 when I bought too much during the holiday sales. But I did end up making a couple of purchases during Ulta’s recent 21 Days of Beauty half off sale. One of the items was BECCA Ultimate Lipstick Love. The absolute best part …
Project Pan Beauty Empties Update for March 2020 In spite of the fact that I’m home all the time and doing most of my regular things (except wearing makeup), I thought I would do pretty well using things up in March. Boy was I ever wrong! I used up only 3 items. I have two …

Today, I went for a 5 mile walk in the woods with two of my friends. It was a brilliantly sunny day. Even thought it was not quite 50 degrees, the sun felt strong and warm. We had a wonderful, long walk. My iheart phone app said I walked 14,596 steps. Yes! Since I decided …
